Under Jim Harbaugh, Michigan has produced a bevy of NFL edge rushers. Aidan Hutchinson headlines the list, but Kwity Paye, Rashan Gary, Mike Danna and others make sizeable contributions to the pass rush on their respective teams week in, week out. A common theme with these outstanding players is they were often undervalued as recruits. Paye, who was listed as a three-star recruit, grew into a first-round game wrecker. Hutchinson wasn’t even ranked in the top-100 of his class.
Let’s hope that trend of success at the position continues as the Wolverines look to land some of these recruits on this early edition of the top-five edge recruits for Michigan in the 2024 class.
